I am Kelly, an AuDHD poetry artist living in Carmarthenshire, Wales UK. I am originally from Essex but my husband and I made the big move to South Wales in 2014. We have two kind and caring children and two happy dogs, who you may hear barking in my videos.
I found poetry whilst struggling with my mental health back in 2017. There were days where I didn't think I would make it to the end of the day but writing helped me. I would write poems of things I needed to hear. After I started sharing them on social media I realised I wasn't alone in what I was feeling and the amazing thing was my poems helped others as much as they helped me. My poetry has been read by millions of people around the world and is even in the homes of a few well known celebrities. My biggest achievement with my work will always be knowing that my poems have saved lives, have brought people out of the darkness and back into the light.
I have enjoyed sketching since I can remember but only found my true love for creating art in the year 2023. That is when I started working with mixed media, including acrylics, type writer poetry, ceramics and other beautiful things. I love working with second hand pieces, those dusty, unloved and often damaged ornaments that you find at carboot sales or charity shops. Isn't it amazing that they can ben rescued, worked on and turned into a beautiful piece of art that could live another lifetime. I love adding real gold to represent hope, the light you look for when lost in the dark.
My big dream is to run a coffee and art shop alongside my husband. To hold creative workshops that help others through their mental health struggles. I dream of filling homes with my work and bringing joy through paint and words.
Thank you for being a part of this journey with me, it is a rollercoaster of a ride but so much fun.
Kelly
